Yesterday we flew out of Italy and whilst on a quiet, full (of mostly Italians) transfer bus from the plane a lady from the USA was having a VERY loud conversation with another random passenger across the bus about how much she disliked her trip to Italy, found Italians rude, didn't like the Italian culture, how "in Texas we are sooo happy and friendly and they're just...different"
I'm sure there are many examples way worse than this but I can't get over how done deaf it was on a bus full of Italian people, many of whom probably spoke English! And untrue - I have found Italians are some of the friendliest and genuinely warmest people I have come across! Just because people aren't desperately trying to get tips off you to make a living doesn't make them rude or unfriendly.
